MY CONVICTION

Compliance should never create unnecessary complexity.

A solid process isn't one that piles up deliverables. It's one that clearly connects users, use-related risks, design choices and the evidence produced.

My role is to help you build that consistency, taking into account your device, its maturity and your regulatory constraints.

Stepping in at the right level: neither under-scoping the process, nor unnecessarily weighing down the project.

Understand before acting

The context and what already exists are analysed before defining the useful actions.

Make choices clear

Every decision must be understandable, traceable and defensible.

Stay proportionate

The method adapts to the project, without compromising on critical points.

SERVICES

Support at every key stage

From initial scoping to building the file, the engagement adapts to what's already available and to your project's maturity.

ENGAGEMENT FORMATS

Three engagement formats based on your internal resources

You can keep full control of your file, delegate an entire mission, or split the tasks. The format is defined based on your in-house skills, your timeline and what's already available.

Advisory & oversight

You have an in-house team and want to challenge your methodological choices or get support on sensitive steps.

I help you scope, challenge and prioritise.

Ideal if…

…you want to build internal skills, keep control of your file and validate the critical points of your process.

Full delivery

You want to delegate an entire mission or step: audit, protocol, user tests, analysis, report, usability file or MA study.

I take charge of the expected deliverables, with a clear, documented methodology.

Ideal if…

…you're short on time, internal resources or specific usability expertise.

Hybrid format

You already have internal resources but need expert reinforcement on certain sensitive points: strategy, use-related risk analysis, methodology, results interpretation or file preparation.

I step in where an experienced perspective adds the most value.

Ideal if…

…you want to split the tasks while reinforcing the most critical steps.

What they remember about working together

I highly recommend Amandine for her support on usability processes. Her responsiveness, quick grasp of our products and their challenges, and her ability to adapt to our existing manufacturer documentation are real strengths. She knows how to fit effectively into an already structured environment while bringing real added value to the process. The quality of the documentation produced also deserves mention: the deliverables are clear, well-structured and of high quality. Amandine is a reliable, professional and efficient provider, whom I recommend without hesitation.
